If you want to use the USB stick as a whole, you neccessarily don't need to apply a disklabel to access /dev/da0s1a. You can simply format the whole device and use /dev/da0 (which is equivalent to the obsoleted form /dev/da0c, "the whole device"). So this is completely sufficient: # newfs /dev/da0 A bit more simple. -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
